Hi, I’m Leah.

(pronounced lay-uh..yes, like the Star Wars character)

I want to understand how we can better leverage emerging transportation technologies for the benefit of, rather than detriment to, society.

I am a PhD Candidate in the Department of Engineering Management and Systems Engineering at the George Washington University and a Fellow with GWU’s Co-Design of Trustworthy AI Systems NSF Research Traineeship. My current research focuses on the potential societal impacts of automated vehicles, with am emphasis on equity and labor.
